Tony Hi, always happy to spend someone elses money :-)
Yes, they are adjustable to an extent but the top clamp plate is split
into three areas and I haven't yet been brave enough to stick the
blade out to use only the two front sections, can't see why it
wouldn't work OK though.
Enjoy Harrogate; unfortunately I can't make it this year and will very
much miss the trip as I think it is by far the best show in the UK.
Best regards
Keith
